The board's intent is to keep the entire parcel of land and demolish the building, which has been vacant since the end of the 2010-11 school-year.

The vote to keep the property was included in a motion to approve a request for a proposal to provide the district with professional design services for demolishing the building and a related feasibility study.

As a result of the decision to keep the Schaeffer building, the board did not vote on an agenda item to begin negotiations for the sale of the building to local developers Robert Myers and Hugh Simpson.
